(Photo: TPC's halibut filets with mystery breading)
I'm always fooling around with new stuff- some of it with a goal in mind, but some of it simply out of curiousity. I'm not one to search the Internet for recipe ideas, though I'm glad those of you that have found this site and Desert Island Foods™.com via a web search did! As a result, I come up with things that are great, outright failures, or something in between.
This was sort of an "in between" result. I still haven't forgotten Dr. Biggle's request for fried chicken, but I don't want to do anything too predictable, so I keep accumulating unlikely breading ingredients and playing with them as I get a chance.
Sure, the filets were oiled and rubbed with Survival Spice™, but can you guess what else I used?
Dude! Are those potato chips?
WINNER!!!
I was going to guess Corn Flakes.
Corn flakes are good, Gail, I really like them for chicken fried steak. I've got other stuff to play with, these were okay, but the fact that they're already cooked and have a fair amount of oil in them doesn't make it likely that I'll use them again, except maybe in some fiendish combo.
